Catalogue Note
Huang Zhiyang is a versatile artist producing works on paper, silk and also rendering sculptures and installations that are exhibited and collected internationally. Influenced by Buddhist and Daoist philosophy, Huang’s Three Marks series represents an artistic exploration of the universe on a microcosmic level through the reconstruction of existing elements – light, water, order, mountain, spirit, etc.1 This present lot focuses on the natural form of mountains constructed by repetitive marks that resemble flames and water drops in carefully arranged patterns. Presented as hanging scrolls over four metres in height, this monumental diptych offers a visual impact full of movement and vitality.
